Peach and Tomato Salad with Goat Cheese and Crispy Bacon

If you are looking for a summer salad to serve for a special luncheon guest, look no further – this is it. The best part is many of the ingredients can be found right here, fresh from your local farmer’s market. After all, August is Farmer’s Market month in Kansas and with over 140 markets across the state, you’re not far from a delicious meal! Crispy bacon and flavorful goat cheese really spruce up this salad. But ripe peaches and homegrown tomatoes are the stars of this show and they make delicious companions!

Combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well. In a large bowl, toss peaches, tomatoes, and arugula; divide mixture between two plates. Top each salad with goat cheese crumbles and bacon; drizzle each salad with prepared dressing, as desired.
